In Reply to: You missed the point... posted by Steve O on November 12, 2015 at 17:48:08:
I was commenting on statements like this one:
Perhaps next time you might quote the text to which you are responding.
Good measurements do not preclude good sound.
Certainly not. Nor do they have any correlation to good sound. Usually the converse is true.
While it's probably reasonably true today that the correlation between good meas performance and good sound is mildly positive
If you refer to THD measurements, I find the converse to be true. Those with "heroic" distortion metrics (via boatloads of "corrective feedback") usually sound unnaturally lean and flat dimensionally.
